XPFriend.com isn't even registered, so I doubt this domain is worth anything...
$0, IMHO.

 

[nts]

I would have to agree on $0 aswell, unless you develop it.

$0 + possible tm issues

Wouldn't worry about TM with this name, but development a must. Otherwise reg fee.

Low $xx - mid xxx if developed. I don't think there will any TM problems because vista is a word...just like longhorn. :cheeky:

Not registering a domain and expecting an appraisal is against the forum rules. Check the rules before posting, Quicksilver.

It is registered; the WHOIS probably hasn't updated yet.

I just bought it a couple of minutes ago, dont know what you mean? =/

 

[Edder]

Sorry about that, quicksilver. It's good that you confirmed it...otherwise some ppl here would have registered it themselves.

 

[Quicksilver]

How much do you guys think its worth if I developed it?

 

[furca]

I don't think there will any TM problems because vista is a word...just like longhorn.

If the site has anything to do with computers or software being a competitor, then he is in tm trouble.

reg fee imo....there are MUCH better domains left to reg out there mon!

It doesn't matter that Vista is a common word. If you create a website using the url vistafriend.com and it has anything to do with WINDOWS Vista then you are violating the trademark unless it is for purely non-commercial purposes, or you have the trademark holder's consent (don't hold your breath). If the site will be about beautiful country landscape vistas and not mention Windows at all then you're fine.
